Outstanding storyline.

This sentence greeted me as I opened the book:

“I am serving the fifth year of a life sentence for murdering my own child. Spoiler alert: I didn’t do it.”

As you can imagine, I didn’t waste any time – I needed to find out what had happened and, if true, who had committed the murder.

David Burroughs is incarcerated at Briggs Penitentiary and has refused contact from his wife, family and friends – until the day he’s forced out of his cell to see his ex-sister-in-law, Rachel. She brings a grainy photograph of a child who looks the image of his son, Matthew. Seeing the photo, David finds the energy to live again and starts plotting how to find Matthew.

Harlan Coben never disappoints; I think this novel may be one of his best. The pace is fast, the storyline plausible, and the characters are easy to relate to and well-defined.

Bravo! Harlen Coben, you’ve aced it with this novel!
